Mehso-so

Nova, smart, sassy, confident & blind since birth, is offered surgery to restore her sight. Kate, meanwhile, is beginning to question her marriage.

I found this an absorbing story with great main characters. Their relationship was beautifully drawn, & the early sense of menace in Kate's abusive marriage was almost overwhelming. But there were so many things I just didn't believe, and the big ending had less impact than the quieter storylines.

rockpools Altogether, I found this an uneven but very readable debut, which would have been fantastic to discuss with as a book club. Thanks to #netgalley for an Advance Review Copy of this book. 6y
rockpools I've just read back through the #Booked2018 prompts (only a few months late!). This'll work for #LGBTQIAmc, if I haven't already logged a book for that. @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft 6y
Cinfhen Will double check but good for you!!! 6y

150 pages of pure love, heartbreak, unease, longing & despair. It‘s beautiful but tragic. Highly recommend it if you haven‘t yet read it. #lgbtqiamc #booked2018

We need a "meh" sticker. I was so excited for this book based on the description, but once Alex goes to Los Lagos, I was borrrrrrrrrrred. Bored bored bored. I guess I'd been excited for brujas in Brooklyn (you know, like the name of the series) and didn't care about fully magical realms. And the LGBT romance felt forced. Meh.

BarbaraTheBibliophage I felt exactly the same way about this book. Wanted to love it but didn‘t even come close. And yes, the new stickers are dumb! @Cinfhen 6y

A sweet coming of age love story about a gay teen in the Atlanta suburbs. Told partly through anonymous emails between two teen boys at the same school who have not yet met. Found it poignant and charming and an accurate picture of young love. #lgbtqiamc #booked2018

Cinfhen Well done! Only one week into July and u knocked off a prompt👍🏻🎉 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Woot!! 👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎉 6y
Blaire @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage thanks!! It was already on my kindle and it fit the prompt...so easy one to check off. 6y

I thought I actually might get through six prompts this quarter, but I didn‘t quite get there. Still, I‘m very happy with these five. Four of them are picks and two are currently in my top five for the year. 😄

#setoutdoors: Annihilation
#friendship: Lily and the Octopus
#BlameItOnLitsy: Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine
#LGBTQIAMC: Her Body and Other Parties
#NewIn2018: I‘ll Be Gone in the Dark
